Meanwhile, Back at the Ranch

Anyone know where that little phrase originated?

Today’s post isn’t about a ranch, just about life around my home outside of my work. Sometimes I have things to show and tell you, things that are mildly interesting (or maybe boring) to you, but it is part of the complete picture of this Central California artist’s life.

I told you about letting our one lawn go wild to see if it would spread or thicken. Look – fescue DOES make seed heads.
Green eyes in the green grass. . . Tucker likes our new approach to the “lawn”.
In order to be able to protect anything from the deer, fencing is required. My fences are DBO, and nothing can stop Pippin.
This is my herb garden on the opposite end of the property. I used to mulch it, but that only encouraged sow bugs, which are little bodies with giant jaws, for the purpose of consuming anything I wanted to grow.
I have actually grown some food!! (but oh so thankful for farmers and grocery stores).

  1. Your bowl of veggies reminds me of a quote attributed to John Denver: “Only two things that money can’t buy, that’s true love and homegrown tomatoes.” Homegrown tomatoes are the best part of summer!

    • John Denver said that?? I used to LOVE his music – that 12-string guitar just slays me. Thank you, Marjie!
